The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Appearing on several platforms, NBA Jam Tournament Edition was a big sequel to one of Acclaim’s greatest franchises. The Genesis version was a fan favorite, and our complete write up tells why. Pump up those Reeboks and check your flat top, because it’s game time!
Few can deny that Forgotten Worlds is a great two-player shmup. It’s been ported to a slew of consoles and computers, but perhaps the two most famous versions are the ones done for the Genesis and Turbo Grafx-16 Super CD-ROM2. How does each stack up against the other? We’ve put them Side by Side for comparison and have the results for you. Read the article and see which one stands tallest.
Sometimes, a company gets too complacent with its properties, and decides to farm them out. Big mistake. The result is almost never good, as demonstrated by U.S. Gold’s horrible Journey from Darkness: Strider Returns. It took everything the original game did well and buried it up deep, deep in the Earth, and what was released was decidedly un-Strider-like.
Nintendo’s recent announcement that their soon-to-be-released Revolution console will play both Genesis and Turbo Grafx-16 games has sent shockwaves through the gaming community, but who exactly is to benefit? Will long-time Sega fans line up to pay to play their favorite classics, or will they snub the former hardware rivals? How will the mainstream react? These are all questions that only time will answer, and Sega-16 takes a look at the whole issue in our latest editorial The Next Genesis Revolution.
Why do companies release peripherals, only to let them starve to death? Sega’s Menacer often comes to mind whenever Genesis fans ask this very question. There were very few games for it, and one of the best was left in Europe (a rare example of PAL gamers getting a game U.S. Genesis owners didn’t). Body Count was an alien-filled romp packed with great graphics and intense action, and Sega never released it stateside.
